Picture


Nathan Gentry is a visual artist and writer who primarily works with the photographic medium and is interested in bringing out stories involving the relationships humans have with each other, the world we live in, and how they affect each other. Experimentation and manipulation is a common theme in much of his work. The manipulations he creates typically serve as the defining cause and/or effect that is being told in his projects. In most cases, his work is displayed in a printed format, but not always framed. At times, the lack of framing and purposeful abuse he inflicts on his work is a key factor in telling the story within each piece he creates. 
 
Nathan has presented his work in many parts of his home state of Texas, but has also extended his presentation to several other US states such as, West Virginia, Oregon,  Ohio, Arizona Pennsylvania and Hawai'i, etc. Currently, his project 53% can be seen on permanent display at The Exhibit Gallery on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Meanwhile, his latest project, A.D.D. (another.damn.distraction.) is traveling the United States and can be seen in multiple galleries amongst many cities. Additionally, his Our Planet collection has ventured out of the country, presenting itself in four Italian cities- Rome, Premuda, Millepiani and Trieste.

In 2016, Nathan earned his Bachelors degree in Electronic Media with a minor in Photography at Texas State. After obtaining his undergraduate degree, Nathan moved to Pittsburgh where he obtained a duel Masters Degree in Digital Media as well as Documentary Specialization. Upon completion of his masters programs, Nathan branched out to make work in his new hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. There, he continues to explore and develop new practices in which he can create photographic works through new processes, while serving as the Artist in Residence at The Leonardo Museum.

His most recent achievements have been his exhibitional presentations through international selection. Work from his most recent project, "A.D.D. (another.damn.distraction)", as well as selections from his collection "Our Planet" have been invited to four museums throughout Italy for solo and group exhibitions. Aside from his photographic studies, Nathan is in the process of publishing a poetic photo book, featuring photographs created by himself, which are complimented by poems written by himself, but also featuring selections by other writers. This book is called, "A Vision for Unspoken Words," and he hopes to release the book in the Fall of 2020.
All of Nathan's work is available for purchase. For prints, contact Nathan Gentry.
